Fryberger Elementary School

My kid loves the school, Dr. Martinez, and her teach Mrs. St. Clairs. The school has very supportive staffs to help parents with questions, concern. PTA has couple members who are very dedicated their time to support school activities. I can wait to send my 2nd daughter to this school the following year.

I love this school! Most of the teachers are great and the principal is amazing. The PTA has good new officers which Mrs. Martinez (principal) supports and meets with regularly. Mrs. Simpson (teacher) is supportive of PTA too. These ladies make us feel welcomed to volunteer. My kids really like their teachers and they love Mrs. Martinez. At Christmas my kids were determined to get the perfect gifts for their principal and their teachers. I feel good knowing my kids are happy at school and safe.

Great principal, great teachers, great students!!! I went to Fryberger in the 80's and now my children go there. I really like the different types of student recognition awards assemblies the school has. That's all my children talk about, the next award they are trying to earn. It is obvious that student motivation starts at the top and is encouraged by all of the teachers and other workers at Fryberger. The school has students from different cultures and so is the staff. I like a school that has people from different cultures because it is more or a representation of the real world. I don't like a school that is "all" of any culture because it causes some students to feel invisible. When I watch my children talk to the principal I see she is really listening and she cares. They like talking to her and she gives them lots of attention. The office workers always greet me with a smile and personal attention.

My son is a fifth grade student who had difficulties managing conflicts with his peers. The principal called me at least once a month about different issues when he was in third grade (Ms. Cordova's class). At times I did not agree with Mrs. Martinez and felt she was being too tough on him, but she always took the time to meet with me and plan how to help my son. Next year he will be going to middle school and I am feeling better about his temper and his grades. He is not perfect, but he has improved so much. The principal never gave up on my son, and some of the calls I now get from Mrs. Martinez are to share his good news. I don't know much about the middle school principals and teachers, but I hope he or she is as good as Principal Martinez.

My son has been at Fryberger since Kindergarden and this is his last year. If it wasn't for his teachers' intense dedication to their students we would have pulled him out years ago. Leadership is definitly lacking at the school and little parent involvement lower the school's rating. No extracirricular activities. Little parent involvement=little after school fun. Love the teachers, most of the kids, but could do with a different principal-one who would actually lead our school.

The teachers here seem to be dedicated but do not seem knowlegable. The PTA membership is lacking very badly as maybe 7 parents show up if that to a meeting and maybe 1 teacher. The principal has never been to a PTA meeting. The principals is seems to be a figurehead only and has no idea what is going on in the school. My daughter is in the 3rd grade and the school has had 3 principals. Not what I call study leadership and Mrs. Martinez is the worst.

Academics at Fryberger are top notch. The level of PTA is great considering that there are not enough parent PTA to help out, so those that do, do an awesome job. Some parents think this school is money pushing, but it's not! Public school is under funded, always has and always will be. Other schools have more parent involvement therefor, they get money raised behind closed doors. Teachers here are prime and no one can ever say anything bad about them. My son is very very happy here and that says it all! Kudos to Fryberger teachers, staff, and parents.

I feel that the quality of the teachers at Fryberger top notch. However, the school principals have been severly lacking. Too much 'push from behind', intsted of 'lead from the front'. My Daughter is in second grade right now, and Mrs Glazner is Awesome. This is a new teacher, who is going to make her mark on the teaching world. Great Job Mrs Glazner!!

This is my children's second year attending Fryberger, and I have experienced good teacher quality. Last years principle was very understanding and was willing to go the extra mile to make sure one of my kids was doing what he was supposed to do.
